“[A] well-researched, rather scholarly book...fanciful illustrations, in both black-and-white and color.”—Publishers Weekly. “Matthews...offers a very attractively presented collection...Not since Jeremiah Curtin, W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, and others at the turn of the century has such a collection been assembled... Each story is followed by a short yet informative note on the tale and its sources, and there is a good bibliography and index. This book would be attractive to younger readers as well as adults and is recommended for most public and academic libraries.”—Library Journal. “[The] collection is varied and brilliant... beautiful illustrations.”—KLIATT.
